I never leave reviews but I want to encourage you to continue with this story.There are many stories now about Spike as a victim but your story has manged to keep in characterand let him retain some of the strength and dignity that is so important to him.In the last chapter the sentance about him standing up straight before leaving the house was so true to Spike.I like Buffy too and thereis nothing I enjoy than evil Angel getting(hopefully) his comeuppence
Thank you! Am very flattered that you have taken the time to leave a review - much appreciated, hun. Honestly, a few words left for any writer is valued, is all the payment ever received for our efforts.

So glad you are liking the story and the characterisations, and hope you continue to do so. BFN

How shocking and sad, I really hope that Smith pays for dusting Dru. I love that she was able to give Spike a message and say goodbye in her own way, that she knew what was coming. It is going to be very interesting if Ethan ends up joining the mix. I really like how well you mix the action with the emotion or thoughts of the characters. Like Smith, you had very little with him really and yet I got the impression (and I hope I’m not to far off :) ) that he likes his secrets and gets a kick out of the pain and suffering of others. Thanks for the update you did a fantastic job with this chapter the wait is always worth it.
Thank you, Robyn! Be assured that Smith will get his just desserts - he's a meanie! I am looking forward to getting Ethan into the story again, but that won't happen for a couple of chappies at least.

So glad you are still liking. BFN

Okay, I enjoyed that chapter and the cliffhanger is just to good to leave for weeks and weeks. So I hope you will update soon. I really do like this fic. Very original plot and well paced.
Thank you, Dee! You'll be glad to know the next chappie is underway - though I am still the slowest typist around! So glad you are enjoying and hope you continue to do so. *hugs*

OH MY FREAKIN GOSH!!!! You end it there...how could you..dang those cliffies
*smothers giggle*

Aw, c'mon, cliffies are just like commercial breaks - they give you time to do something else in between. Have I convinced you? *grins*

Thanks for commenting, hun. BFN

Ohmygosh! This is awesome. Can't wait for the next update. And was rather surprised to see Dru reintroduced and dusted within the same chapter. More, please.
Oooh, I surprised you! Cool! *grins*

Am so glad you enjoyed and will get the next bit out soonest; I'm hoping for a couple of weeks. Thanks for reviewing, sweetie. BFN

oh that was so horrifically cruel!!! poor spike!! oh i'm crying for him, poor thing!!! and dru...sorry but you made me like her with this chapter...i so can't wait for your next update, this one was incredible :)
*gulps* Me, cruel? I s'pose in a certain light it could look that way, but surely not enough for tears. *pets and passes tissue*

Am so glad you liked Dru - I was actually sorry to dust her but it had to be done. Should have more in a couple of weeks...maybe. Thanks for still reading and commenting, sweetie. *hugs*

We knew a showdown for Spike was inevitable. It's neccessary to the story, and well said it is! Glad you're well and everything I've read of is top notch! Never bored, not once. Eagerly awaiting your next update. *hugs*
Hey, Verda! I am chuffed that you are enjoying - and reviewing! - and hope not to keep you waiting too long for more. BFN, hun. *hugs*

I'll review in a second, just lemme do this real quick:

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Okay, I'm done. Yay! Finally an update. I've missed this story terribly! And GAH the suspense is killing me. Each scene had me gasping for the next one. It's kind of like having a word just on the tip of your tongue but still out of reach. We all know the breaking point is just around the corner and we're gagging for it! I'm not sure why you're unsatisfied with this chapter, because I'm guessing its purpose was to build the tension and it did that a little too well. It was amazing. And I have to say, I've found that a Spuffy author's worth can be measured very accurately by how well they write Drusilla, and you did a superb job. You got that whole 'crazy but really knows what's going on' thing down pat. Kudos, again! Can't wait for the next chappie, and I also hope it doesn't take as long!
Ah, Coquine! Thank you for such a kind and enthusiastic review! I am so glad you liked, especially dear Dru -I do feel bad about killing her off so quickly.

Will do my best not to take so long next time - but don't look for more for a couple of weeks. BFN

I forgot elsewhere to mention Ethan...oh, dear...he has quite a lot of plans...not liking that he has the Cruciamentum serum!

How's Giles doing?
Hey, someone remembered Giles! Expect to see some movement on his situ soonish. *grins*

Ethan is the king of red herrings - expect anything and everything from him. BFN

Wow! Somebody was really busy and productive, I gotta say I enjoyed Ethan's appearance at the beginning of the chapter. The glimpse into Angel's head was really insightful, I think you captured his personalty wonderfully. I absolutely loved your portrayal of Dru, it's a shame she ended up dusted. Spike was so brave. *bites nails* I can't wait to find out what happens next. Great chapter, it definitely entertained!
Thank you, Irina! I am not that happy with this chappie but am thankful that it has entertained. I like to feel into the characters a bit more, but the need to get some action in is shoving that to one side right now - does that make sense? LOL

So very glad you liked Dru - I really didn't want her to go. BFN
